CONTRACT WIFE, Paid To Be His Baby's Mama. Chapter 29
Chloe’s POVThe unease in my stomach swirled faster as realization dawned, slow and horrified, across my face. Seeing that Lucas was standing right behind me.“L—Lucas,” I stuttered trying to figure out how on earth he’d been able to track us down to the restaurant. And even for the fact that he’d ignored all the paparazzi right outside the hotel and had chosen to walk in.“We’re leaving now!” He cuts in.A pang hit my chest, at his direct order. But all I could do was just to stay frozen on a spot not knowing what else to say or do.“What makes you think, you can just come in here and have our wonderful dinner interrupted?” Alexander said.“Plus we just got started, am I right,” He added and this time placed a hand over my wrist as he met my eyes with a sardonic smile. A storm of emotions clouded Alex’s eyes, and I resisted the urge to pull my hand off the table into my lap. Instead, I had my eyes glued to the meal in front of me knowing there was bound to be a show and even worse,

Chloe’s POV“Dad no!” I yelled, and jolt up to a sitting position. With one hand clamped to my chest as I panted for air. My eyes darted around to find that I’d been in my bedroom all along, and was having those usual nightmares of my father from the past.The soft knock on the door distracted me from the thoughts in my head. I walked lazily to the door to have it opened. The very minute I did, Flynn surprisingly on the other side of the door pulled me in for a hug with a smile across his face.“Hi Mom,” His tiny innocent voice filled the void in my head, I leaned closer pulling him for a tight hug as well.“Hey baby,” I responded, shocked at how he’d gotten to this house.“Good morning Ms. Chloe,” Aurora, Flynn’s personal help from the other mansion greeted. “Morning Aurora,” I responded, with a smile creased on my face as I waved back at her.“Breakfast is ready,” She added.“M

Chloe’s POVThe continuous buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me back reality. Realized how far gone in my thoughts I’d been a couple of minutes ago.I reached for my purse almost instantly as I had it picked, came Monica’s voice from the other end of the call.“It's almost as if you've forgotten me,” She said. I could already tell from the sound of her voice that she was pissed.With all that had been happening these past few weeks, I’d barely had the time for a quick girl’s chat and our usual hangout, and that had gotten her upset.“I'm Sorry Monica, you know how parenting can be,” I responded, but then she went mute almost instantly as if trying to understand better what I meant.“Parenting?” She cuts in, finally breaking the silence between us.“Still, I'm mad at you,” Monica said.“I know, I'm sorry,” I responded.“You're going to have to make up for that still

Chloe’s POVA glance at my watch tells me, I only have thirty minutes left until Monica comes yelling from the front door of Lucas’s mansion. Asking that I go with her to the party.Which also happens to mark the beginning of the weekend as well. “Fuck!” I grumbled, staring at the clock.My phone chimed, bringing me out of my momentary daze and I scrambled around in my purse trying to find it. The minute my hands landed on the device I had it picked up almost instantly. Staring at the screen of my phone, I realized she was the one calling. Monica…“For Christ's sake Monica, do I have to go with you?” I yelled the very minute I had the call picked up. “I’m just going to get into trouble with Lucas and me arguing over some dumb college party,” I added. Just when I did, there was a pause. And then came her voice.“Are you insane?!” She yelled.“I mean, girl!” Monic
CONTRACT WIFE, Paid To Be His Baby's Mama. Chapter 1
Chloe p.o.vToday is not one of my best days, it's one of those days I feel moody, gloomy and absolutely not myself. Why? Because I've been awake is 6am dragging my half sleeping self around, because of a damn 7am class I have.I mean, why would the school set a class at seven? Eight is preferable to seven, I shook my head as there's nothing I can do to change it.Here I am after my classes that ended at two in the afternoon, I mean come on! From seven to two, and I've barely had anything to eat except for the little snacks I had.I'm in the store tottering around the aisle doing some groceries shopping, my kitchen is closed empty as it is. I have been postponing this shopping for the longest time, I have little time to spare juggling between school and work hasn't been easy.I picked few of my facial products and body lotions and scrubs, I will as be doing some perfume and deodorant shopping too but first let me attend to what brought me here. I did my groceries hastily, and went to

Chloe’s POVMy eyes fluttered open almost instantly to the blaring alarm clock in my ear. I groggily reached for my phone on the nightstand beside my bed to check the time—7:30am.7:30 am!! The bright light from the screen of my phone lit up my bedroom making the whole space of my bedroom illuminated.Sighing, I raise my head from the pillow leaning one elbow and a bent knee raised in the air as I blinked through tired eyes. Staring at the clock far off.The ruffling of the soft sheets makes a crinkling sound as I perked up to my feet. My lazy limbs stretched out making my entire body relax from me being curled up in bed all night.Memories of the supermarket some days ago resurfaced in my mind. A small smile found its way up my lips at the thought of the little kid smiling at me. Spelling out those words. “Dear, even if you’re getting a divorce you shouldn’t deny the child from his mother’s love,” The voice of the old lady from the mall, echoed through the void in my head as I stare

Chloe’s POVI collided with someone, their unfamiliar scent of perfume wafted up, filling my nostrils. I stumbled backward from the impact of the stronger body.My eyes rose to find Scott in front of me. The one popular dude in college. I mean, the most hottest guy in college, every damn girl in school want him.“Sco…” I stuttered, holding a hand over my mouth from uttering anything stupid.Instantly, his head shot up so fast I thought he’d have strained his neck or something. Surprisingly all he did when our eyes met, was break out into a goofy smile and then scurried off like nothing had happened a while ago.Leaving me bewildered.“What the hell just happened?” Monica called out from behind me as she snaked an arm around my shoulders. Grinning at me.“Not now Monica!” I scowled. Holding tight on my purse as we headed over to class.“I mean, did you see that? You bumped into scott! The Scott.” She persisted. I sighed slightly disheartened, sadly Monica and I are among the girls that

Chloe’s POV “Me?” I asked, just like I’d done the other day at the mall. A quizzical line formed between my brows as I stared back at him.He seemed perplexed by my appearance, and it was starting to be offensive. Soon enough, his gaze unfocused, and I understood he wasn’t staring at me anymore but lost in his thoughts.I cleared my throat and his eyes met mine again. “The hospital, remember?” He added as he etched closer to me by the counter. A bit scared of why I’d bumped into a stranger twice. And why he kept on staring like indeed knew me from somewhere.“Hospital?” I said. A lot of swirling in my head as I stared at him. “I wasn’t expecting you’d be…” He stopped as if searching for the right words.“Here?” I cut in.“Young,” He corrected.A twinge of anger rose in me. What the hell! I narrowed my eyes, displeased by the knowledge that he’d gotten a closer look at me and had probably assumed I was young.“Can I take your order, sir,” I said with my best diplomatic voice.One of

Chloe’s POVI reached for my closet, my eyes locked on the one exact blue floral dress I hadn't worn in a long while. Knowing that was perfect for a date with Alexander.I twirled right in front of the mirror admiring the fine lines of the dress when my phone buzzed repeatedly by my bed.I hurried over to my bed and picked up almost immediately and just then, an unfamiliar voice came through from the other end of the call.“I’ll pick you up by 10 pm, is that cool?” The masculine voice asked.I could already tell who it was. Alexander.“Yes, sure!” I responded, smiling sheepishly.I walked over to the full-length mirror in my bedroom and admired the dress once again. I loved how it hugged me in all the right places and the light blue floral dress complimented my tan skin tone. I had my hair placed in a neat low bun with two parted strands framing my face. While I quickly did a simple make-up, and extra l

Chloe’s POV“Thirty minutes”That was all it took for Lucas to have my mood spoiled without hesitation. The repeated buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me out of the little random thought in my head. “Where are you?” Lucas bass voice hit my ear just as I answer the phone.“Are you okay?” Lucas surprisingly sounded panicked from the other end of the call. But what I couldn't understand was why he sounded utterly bothered over nothing."Yes?" I answered unsurely.“I heard there's been an accident on your route, I'm calling to be sure you're okay,” He hurriedly said.I paused with my jaws dropped slightly, staring into the wall in front of me. Trying to figure out how the hell that had anything to do with me. Remembering I’d indeed seen a car surrounded by onlookers I wondered what it was that had happened then. So there had been an accident…“So I heard too,” I respo

Lucas’s POV“Chloe!” I hisses, staring at her with a definite scowl on my face. I fucking hated it and I fucking hated her stubbornness. The innocent look she gave me whenever I look at her always seem to make my heart melt. I was so familiar with the forceful circumstances that joined Alexander's Union and ours together and I was beyond mad, pissed even.I hated how it was that she just accepted it with shrug and indifference, not knowing who and what she's getting herself into. And it boiled my nerves, I etched closer to her, pulling her by the wrist in such a way that she stood directly in front of me. Her body was mere an inch away from mine, I can feel the heat and softness of her body from here.“I can’t let you go out with him!” I growled, with my eyes locked directly on hers as I glared at her. For some damn reason, she looked away unable to hold my gaze. As it felt as though she was

Chloe’s POVIt has been more than two days now, and I haven’t been able to shake off the events that played out the previous days. The revelation I saw about who the Lucas family truly is, the mess my brother got himself into and Lucas willingly stepping in to save the day.They all weighed heavily on my mind, and no matter the activities I tried engaging myself in to escape from my thoughts, it just wouldn't work. I kept thinking about how Lucas's father had built his empire on crimes, and how Lucas might also have a role in all of it.I couldn't bring myself to reconcile the Lucas I was still getting to know with the version of him the revelation had started making me paint out.Seeing that engaging myself in a lot of chores and activities wasn't helping out, I thought about sitting and resting it out, but that wouldn't be an option for today as the day was going to be quite a busy one.I would be he

Chloe’s POVIt was a quiet morning, the kind of calm that settled into every corner of the house because everyone had yet to get up from bed and get their day started. Flynn was still very much asleep and I went on with carrying out my usual daily routine of tidying up before the day truly began when Flynn woke up.I moved around the house, picking up stray toys Flynn had played with the previous day, fluffing pillows thrown around, and then going on to wiping down the surfaces.This was the best part of the day for me because I got to have my quiet moment which was soothing and also a distraction from the confusing emotions swirling inside of me.As I made my way through the house, my thoughts drifted to Lucas which wasn't in any way surprising as I thought of him at the slightest moment. Despite my effort to keep him off my mind, I couldn't bring myself to deny that he was slowly becoming more than someone I worked for. But I w
